Displaying a wide variety of fascinating cultures and local traditions, South Africa is a popular tourist destination and the 25th largest country in the World. A vast country featuring 11 official languages and a widely varying landscape, South Africa is having a 2,798 kilometer coastline along the Indian and Atlantic oceans. Renowned for its wine industry and as the largest producer of gold, South Africa, with a strong economy, is the most influential player of politics on the African continent.

Featuring eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites alongside 27 national parks and numerous other protected areas, South Africa is an excellent tourism destination to start your tour of the African continent. However, note that rainy season for most of South Africa is in summer, except for the Western Cape where rainfall occurs during winter. Home to several prominent cities like Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, each one of these South African cities is good enough to start your tour of this country.
